Looking for free time reading books : Free time reading book practices in the school library. (English)
Abstract [en]
The purpose of this Master's thesis is to contribute to a better
understanding of children's free time reading book practices by studying
pupils in the school library and their processes of finding and borrowing
books for themselves to read silently in the classroom, so called free time
reading books. The study also includes observations of the staff's role,
particularly the school librarian's in supporting pupil's book selection.
The empirical material consists of field notes from an etnographic study
where pupils in 4th grade (aged 10-11) and staff were observed during
three school library visits. The theoretical framework is inspired by
Lennart Björneborn's concepts of information practices in libraries:
serendipity, integrative library interface, mediation flow and affordance
spaces.
The study shows that pupils' search for free time reading books in the
school library is relatively routine-based at the same time as it is
spontaneous. The process is an interplay with factors such as time,
display and interaction in the integrative library interface. In the presence
of adults, finding books becomes an imposed task for the pupils. The staff
works within a set hierarchy in the school library where the teachers
support the librarian by administrating the visit and the librarian helps the
pupils to find books. A library practice of selecting books, a free time
reading book practice, emerges as rather routine and instrumental.
